YT-2000 TRANSPORT



YT-2000 Transport – 1,000,000 ICs
The YT-2000 transport was a precursor to the YT-2400 that saw a limited production run, but was a significant improvement over the traditionally offset cockpits like the kind used in the YT-1300 light freighter. The ship boasted a double laser turret as standard weaponry, due to the more dangerous times in which the ship was built. Rumors abounded that the YT-2000 was originally intended to be the "next generation" model of transports for Corellian Engineering Corporation; however, industrial espionage forced them to release the ship before the design was finalized lest they were beaten to the punch by a competitor. It was also rumored that the engineers at CEC had trouble convincing the Imperial Regulatory Commission that the YT-2000 was a civilian ship, as the YT-2000 was heavily armed and armored and yet was amazingly agile for a craft of its size.
